I was born in the U. S and am over 35 in dog years, though I don’t have a birth certificate. Like the other candidates I am blond, bossy and would like to run the world.

One of the candidates did not know what “Aleppo” was but everyone knows it’s a can of dog food. My emails are safe because I cannot type, my veterinarian will attest to my good health, and I don’t work so I have no income taxes to pay.

I am a graduate of As Good As Gold Golden Retriever Rescue of Illinois. I don’t need any campaign contributions but if anyone cares to support my “campaign” they can send a donation – to www.asgoodasgold.org–my alma mater.

My campaign slogan is “A bone in every bowl”. Please remember me at the poles and vote – there are many other important issues on the ballot.

Please join us at As Good as Gold's A Golden Ball at Medinah Shrine Center - an elegant and entertaining evening with animal lovers just like you! You'll be treated to an open bar reception while bidding on a silent auction, followed by a delicious dinner and live auction. The evening will be topped off with entertainment and dancing!Funds raised will support As Good as Gold's program services including veterinary care, canine supplies, and public education.

Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, donors and attendees, our 2018 event raised, after expenses, more than $88,000. This year we hope to raise even more! Your support is vital to the care of our rescued golden retrievers and golden mixes.
